You guy's have been so helpful.

Is there a sudo command to download and install a DVD Movie Player?
Is the app already in my system?
I went to add remove programs, but found no packages in my search.
I have the NVIDIA 3-D accelerated graphics drivers installed.
A DVD will open in my Dragon Player, but only plays a few seconds and stops.
Should I remove the NVIDIA Proprietary Video Driver?
Or use another program ?
Do I need to install video codec ?
I am 69 years old but not to old to learn.

Re: DVD Movie player

Open a console and copy/paste the following:

sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update

This will add the medibuntu repository and gpg key.
Then, copy/paste the following:

sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

If you have a 32-bit CPU, then copy/paste:

sudo apt-get install w32codecs

else, if you have a 64-bit CPU, then copy/paste:

sudo apt-get install w64codecs

Then, to install a nice player, type:

sudo apt-get install kaffeine

Happy to assist. Welcome to KFN and Linux.

Natty play enable DVD

Just a bump to add a Natty title and that the above works for all the players.
